Spontaneous ventilation anesthesia combined with uniportal and tubeless thoracoscopic lung biopsy in selected patients with interstitial lung diseases.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03621514 (The Feasibility and Advantages of Painless Indwelling Catheter in Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Lobectomy of Lung Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
backgroundThe current guidelines emphasize the significant role of video-assisted thoracic surgical lung biopsy (VATS-LB) for a definite diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILD), but they also encourage physicians to maintain the balance between the surgical benefits as well as risks. Both spontaneous ventilation video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and uniportal VATS have emerged as remarkable progresses in VATS. We combined these two types of VATS and refined them to uniportal spontaneous ventilation VATS without urinary catheterization and chest tube drainage [uniportal and tubeless VATS (UT-VATS)] to perform LB in selected patients with ILD.
methodsFrom January 2014 to May 2015, 43 patients were included in the study. The surgical data was retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThe mean diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) of patients was 57.6%±13.0%, forced vital capacity (FVC) was 73.1%±17.0%. There was no 30-day mortality. No patient required a switch to intubated anesthesia. The mean age was 49.6±10.7 years. The general median operative duration was 22±5 minutes, with 25±3 minutes for multiple specimens and 15±2 minutes for single specimen, respectively. Intra-operative conversion to 2-portal VATS followed by chest tube drainage and urinary catheterization occurred in 3 (7.0%) patients due to extensive pleural adhesion, and postoperative chest tube insertion was documented in 1 (2.3%) patient due to subcutaneous emphysema. No postoperative mechanical ventilation was noted. Precise histopathological diagnosis was achieved in 38 (88.4%) patients.
conclusionsUniportal and tubeless thoracoscopic LB using spontaneous ventilation anesthesia can be considered a feasible and safe operation method for selected patients with ILD.
